Foreground: roof top view of one of blocks which form much of central Berlin. Centre in distance: is the Berlin Cathedral. Left of this is the eccentric looking Humboldt Box (KSV, 2011). The road left of the Humboldt Box is Unter den Linden. The TV tower (left background - partially visible) is in Alexanderplatz. The Humboldt Box is an information and exhibition building located next to the site for the construction of the Humboldt Forum / Berliner Schloss. A temporary structure with cafe terraces (top right of the building in this view) and exhibition spaces designed in complete contrast to the buildings surrounding it. Projected life of 8 years - to be removed when the Humboldt Forum is completed. [Photographed from a bus]
